[Datastream #SXB-674928]: GOES East West imagery...

I know the feeling!

Yes.  You have two options:

- if GOES-East and GOES-West sectors previously sent in the IDD
  UNIWISC (aka MCIDAS) datastream are available for the dates/times
  you are interested in, you can get them by following the guidelines
  in:

Unidata HomePage
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu

  Data -> Archived Data
  http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/index.html#archived

    UNIWISC IDD Datastream
    http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/unirec.html

If you need dates and times or coverages that are not available in
the UNIWISC archive, you will need to request access to the full
satellite archive that the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC)
Data Center operates where Unidata sites can get up to 5 GB of
satellite imagery from the full SSEC archive each month:

OK.

re:

See above.

re:
> Thanks for any suggestion and guidance,

No worries.

Cheers,

Tom
